There has been a long-standing and very minor off-by-one, where
shmem_get_folio_gfp() decides if a large folio extends beyond i_size far
enough to leave a page or more for freeing later under pressure.
This is not something needed for stable: but it will be proportionately
more significant as support for smaller large folios is added, and is best
fixed before duplicating the check in other places.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
